Before I underwent lumpectomy in 2002, I wish I had known that:
- My cancer would return 6 years later.
- They were going to inject wires and a blue dye into my breast and it would hurt, and the blue dye would not go away for months after my surgery.
- If my cancer ever came back, the fact that I had a lumpectomy coupled with radiation would make my reconstruction options very limited.
- I would lose a very close friend during cancer — not to death, but misunderstandings — when I needed her most.
- I would need to learn to receive better.
- I could not control what was happening to my body. I could just make the best choices I could and hope they were the right ones for me.
- The chemotherapy drugs and the radiation I had to treat this cancer increased my chances of developing subsequent types of cancer as well as heart damage.
- My health insurance wasn't going to pay for my treatment.
- Support would show up in unlikely places.
- My doctors were the best ever, but I was still scared because I didn't know that back then.
- It was easier to have cancer yourself than to take care of someone you loved who had it.
- Even though they told me I would not be able to have a child after treatment, I would defy the odds, get pregnant 2 years after my diagnosis, and deliver a healthy baby girl!

(CNN) – New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an outspoken advocate for increased gun control measures, on Monday added specifics to his calls for "immediate national action from the president and Congress" in the wake of Friday's mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school.
"The time for talk is over. Congress and the White House [have] to come up with something that stops this carnage no matter what the political ramifications are," Bloomberg said. "Somehow or other, we've come to think that getting reelected is more important than saving lives, that political power is more important than saving lives, that partisan politics is more important than saving lives. Enough."
Bloomberg leads the group Mayors Against Illegal Guns and said the nearly three dozen people joining him at Monday's press conference were survivors of gun violence and family members of victims.
He called for Congress to pass an assault weapons ban "that isn't riddled with loopholes and easy evasion." The ban passed in 1994 expired ten years later and was never renewed.
"Congress should also ban the high capacity magazines that have been used again and again in these mass shootings," he said. "These weapons and ammunition can be used to kill large numbers of people quickly and regulating them certainly falls within the bounds of the second amendment."
Officials said the gunman in the school shooting used a semi-automatic weapon and went through several 30-round magazines.
Bloomberg called for Congress to pass the Fix Gun Checks Act, which would further incentivize states to require background checks before gun purchases, require colleges to institute a mental health assessment plan for their students, and strengthens certain requirements of the Brady gun control act.
Its primary sponsors include Sen. Charles Schumer and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, both of New York. Her husband was among six people killed in a 1993 mass shooting.
He also called for a federal measure to outlaw gun trafficking. "This legislative package would make it harder for criminals, drug abusers, minors, and the mentally ill to get guns and harder for them to inflict the level of carnage we saw this week," Bloomberg said.
To not act, he said, would be a "stain upon our nation's commitment to protecting the innocent including our children."
President Barack Obama said at a vigil for the victims and families Sunday night that he would use "whatever power this office holds … in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this," and hours after the shooting called for "meaningful action" on the issue. Obama was elected on a platform which included reinstating the assault weapon ban but has since put his weight behind other legislative priorities.
While waiting for action on Capitol Hill, Bloomberg urged Obama to act immediately by increasing prosecution, such as of gun purchasers who falsify background check documents, as well as streamline background check bureaucracy and advance a permanent – rather than interim– director of the firearms bureau.
The mayor did not say when asked if he would put his personal fortune behind his efforts but said he would "do what I think is appropriate" on the issue.
"I think it should be illegal to have a weapon whose only purpose is to kill large numbers of people. I think it should be illegal to sell bullets whose only purpose is to pierce armored vests," Bloomberg said at the press conference. "The last time I saw a deer wearing an armored vest was a long time ago. Those bullets are designed to kill police officers – that's all they're designed for. That should be illegal."

Benefits of Buying New & Used Cars
You have many decisions to make when it comes to buying a new car. One of the primary decisions you'll need to make is whether you want to buy a new or a used car. If you're looking for the latest in features and amenities, it makes sense to buy a new car. Only with a new vehicle can you order the conveniences, packages, and precise exterior appearance that you want. You have full freedom to choose your trim level, paint color, and any extra options that you want to give your car a personalized finish. If you're concerned about spending more money to get a higher-end trim, rest assured that the same luxury features you enjoy in a car (including leather seats, driver-assist safety tools, a sunroof and more) tend to retain their value, as they are features people want in a car down the road.
Contrarily, there are other reasons why you might want to get a used car instead. Many people prefer to save money by getting a pre-owned vehicle rather than a new one. From the initial sales tax to annual registration fees and insurance, it is cheaper overall to buy a used car instead of a new one. Since used cars tend to retain their value and don't have steep depreciation rates, you will come out on top with your vehicle later on. You won't have as much freedom when choosing specifics like paint color and add-on features, but you may very well be able to get more luxury amenities for a better deal. Financing a used car is also usually less expensive than financing a new car, which makes it a more affordable part of your budget.
Quality New & Used Cars
Of course, you will want to make sure that any new car you get, regardless of the model, trim level, or owner history, is a reliable vehicle. We put your worries to ease with our comprehensive inspection process. All vehicles are carefully evaluated, inside and out, to make sure they have no flaws or problems. Don't hesitate to call or speak to a staff member to learn more about the inspection process.
There are many things to think about when you're buying a new car, including what model and the trim level you want, whether cost or looks are more important, and more. Feel free to call or contact us online to ask any questions you have and make an appointment for a test drive if there is a vehicle you want in stock.

CES 2013, Day One: LG Press Event
For me, LG's CES press conference was an anti-climax: The company had already announced its 2013 TV and Blu-ray/audio offerings in a conference call a few weeks prior to the event. The upside was I didn't have to take many notes —something that's not always easy to do at 8 a.m. when you're jet-lagged. Here are the highlights.
Smart TV
LG plans an all-out Smart TV offensive for 2013, releasing Internet-connected LED-backlit models in screen sizes as small as 27 inches, and as large as 84 inches. Most of the models with 47-inch and up screens offer passive 3D viewing. Leading the pack are the LA8600 and LA7400 series, 240-Hz sets that come in 60- and 55-inch (LA8600) and 60-, 55-, and 47-inch (LA7400) sizes and feature Edge-lit LED backlights with local dimming and the full gamut of LG Smart TV features. Just what are those Smart features? To start off, there's an updated Magic remote (something we liked very much when we reviewed the 2012 version) with Voice Mate enhanced voice control, which now includes search capability. LG's Home Dashboard Smart UI also gets an update with a new feature called My Interest Cards. These are folders that you can customize to easily access preferred apps and Internet content. There's also enhanced SmartShare with Miracast to wirelessly beam A/V content to the set and WiDi to wirelessly display your PC's desktop on the TV's screen. LG also claims significantly increased CPU and GPU speeds for faster navigation and multitasking on its Smart TVs.
Google TV
LG is among the manufacturers that's built Google TV into its sets, and the company is offering two new lines for 2013: The GA7900, which comes in 47- and 55-inch screen sizes, and the GA6400, which comes in 42- to 60-inch screens. Both have QWERTY remotes for easy text entry.
Plasma TV
Plasma TVS are still pumped out by LG, but the category is shrinking down to just three series for 2013. All sets come in screen sizes ranging from 47 to 60 inches. The PH6700 will be LG's high-end series, with a full Smart TV feature set and passive 3D display.
Ultra HD and OLED
LG's 84-inch, 4K "Ultra HD" LED and OLED TV aren't new news for CES; the company previously announced both products in early 2012. What's new is that the Ultra HD LM9600 is now shipping and will soon be joined by 65 and 55-inch UHD models, while the company expects to ship its 55EM9700 OLED model ($12,000) as early as March. Here are the relevant OLED specs: WRGB (red, green, and blue plus white pixels for added brightness) 1080p, 4 millimeters (0.16 inches) thin, 22 pounds.

Members of the Virginia General Assembly representing Great Falls, Sen. Barbara Favola (D-31) and Del. Barbara Comstock (R-34), spoke at the McLean Community Center Wednesday, Jan. 2.
The General Assembly's session will begin Wednesday, Jan. 9. Since 2013 is an odd-numbered year, the session is scheduled for 30 days, with the possibility of an extension of up to 30 additional days.
Favola said Medicaid expansion is one of her top priorities, and she hopes the General Assembly will "take a stand" this session and get it through.
"In my view, Virginia has an opportunity to take great steps forward to protect some of our most vulnerable and very low-income individuals by participating into the Medicaid expansion programs," she said. "Virginia has a very skeletal Medicaid plan, to increase the actual number of individuals eligible for Medicaid, about 400,000 people, and the cost would be covered 100 percent by the Federal Government for the first three years, and then 90 percent matched by the government."
She also said she is hoping to ease the transition for foster children after they turn 18.
"We are losing some of our foster children when they turn 18 and when they don't have that safety net to ensure that they'll be able to go on to college or job training, they could end up being homeless and never becoming productive members of society," she said. "It is such a worthy cause."
Comstock says she will re-introduce a bill to allow schools to choose their own start dates, and she supports the 2 percent salary raise for teachers, with a caveat.
"I think it needs to be tied to some reforms. I've talked with teachers and different groups about their concerns over who does the evaluations and what the process is, so I think we need to work with the teachers and education community on that," she said.
Comstock says she will also fight to ensure sales taxes in the area helps fund improvements in this area.
"I support having more of our state sales tax money stay here in this area, that is a net gain for Northern Virginia. The money we send down to Richmond, we're not going to get that same amount back for other things," she said. "When you look at transportation investments, we know that it's going to be good for our entire economy."
She also said she is working to introduce a bill about Lyme disease, which she hopes will improve diagnoses and care for patients suffering from the disease.
"It's a bill that's going to provide information about the test for Lyme disease. We don't have the final language down yet, but we're working with local Lyme groups to make sure we have the right bill," she said. "There's a high false negative rate with Lyme disease. You go in there, take the test, and it comes back saying you don't have it. But you have all these symptoms, and doctors tell you that you could have other problems, and they're not treated in a timely manner."
Comstock's bill would inform labs about the rate of false-negatives to help patients get the correct diagnosis.

I cannot resist a bright white, sunny home. Throw in a vaulted ceiling, cozy, comfy sitting areas, warm woods, and some greenery... what more could you want? The beachy, boho Australian family home of Zoe Dent, co-founder of The Wedding Nest wedding registry, has the perfect blend of cool style and comfort. Every space just says "chill", to me.
While both were on maternity leave, Dent and friend Jacqui Scruby decided to start up a wedding registry. They both had been very disappointed by a lack of cool things to register for, when they had gotten married. Despite being (probably exhausted) new mums, they worked hard to make The Wedding Nest a great place to shop. All their late nights and busy weekends paid off, when they could quit their old jobs and focus on their business.
In choosing pieces for her home, as in finding beautiful items curated for The Wedding Nest, Zoe Dent has filled her home with quality pieces which she and her family treasure daily, and will, no doubt, enjoy for years to come. Zoe says "My home reflects both my love of nature and the beach. I prefer neutral colours as they are calming, and instead like to play with different tones, textures and textiles to create interest."
It's such a gorgeous, relaxed home. I just had to share it with you today.

Amish Rake Fight: Fellow Prisoners
Fellow Prisoners is an otherworldly concoction of driving beats and ambient soundscapes from Machines of Loving Grace keyboardist, Mike Fisher.

Micronaut: Europa
A brooding and introspective piece of melodic electronica, Micronaut's fourth album is dark and cinematic, with twisting synth lines and disjointed drum-beats vying for attention amid a thick bed of drones and found sound.
Scanalyzer: On The One And The Zero
A tour-de-force of glitch-hop, noisecore, and IDM, with a generous dose of dancefloor groove thrown in to complete the mix.
Sister Machine Gun: Influence
Sister Machine Gun's seventh full-length album is an electro-industrial tour-de-force that recalls the industrial sound of the late eighties and early nineties.

Regional Offices
The Department's Community Service System
The regional offices of Tennessee's Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities are the local point of entry to the Department's community service system. The regional offices are responsible for the enrollment of individuals with intellectual disabilities into a service delivery system that best meets their individual needs for support. It is the mission of these offices to develop and support opportunities for persons with intellectual disabilities to live as contributing members of their chosen home community.
There are multiple avenues through which the regional office supports individuals with intellectual disabilities. One method of support is the direct provision of services such as assessments, training, and limited forms of interventions in a variety of clinical disciplines, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, behavioral services, and nursing/medical services. Other services such as residential or day services are provided through a contracted provider system. In order to ensure appropriate community supports for individuals the regional office conducts quarterly reviews of agencies and when necessary provides training and technical assistance geared toward improving agency performance.
As a steward of public funds, the regional office conducts the review of service and cost plans which meet the needs of people supported and the procedural requirements of the Medicaid Waiver. The office notifies families about approvals and denials; informs families of their appeal rights, and completes the initial processing steps for provider payments. Each of these steps are required to assure that funds appropriated to the Department are used effectively and that appropriate steps are taken to contain costs while providing the necessary supports to individuals.
The regional office implements policies and procedures developed by the DIDD Central Office, which are designed to ensure that there is consistent application of services and supports across the state. To further fulfill this mission, the regional office also operates compliance and investigative follow-up systems for reviewing performance and recommending actions that will improve service delivery to individuals with intellectual disabilities. An important function of the DIDD Compliance Unit in the regional offices is to monitor court mandated requirements and ensure the Department's providers remain in compliance with those requirements. Each of these activities permits the Department to provide reasonable assurances to individuals, conservators, court monitors, advocates, and other interested parties that the community service delivery system is responsive to individual service and support needs.
Regional offices exist to ensure that the Department has local presence and can respond quickly to local needs for community services for intellectual and developmental disability services on an individual basis.

Midnight Sun Pup 002 with 126.96.36.199 and 003 with 184.108.40.206
Subject description: Summer versions of Snow Puppy are out
Midnight Sun Pup is out. My vacation started in nice summer weather beside the lake. I took nice night shot from the downing sun in the boat and decided to utilize the pic. So here is Midnight Sun Pup.
Playdayz and several other people have also joked about my permafrozen Pup names. This name was suggested by Playdayz, only half seriously.
So...Snow Puppy-021 is now Midnight Sun Pup 002. It has 220.127.116.11 kernel.
Midnight Sun Pup 003 has 18.104.22.168 kernel with intel atom optimization, highmem+pae enabled, low latency kernel.
And last but not the least, Latest version is Tmans Remix of Midnight Sun Pup 003. Main sfs is reduced to 190 Mb, Firefox 6.0 as additional sfs in iso.
Outcome, menu styling and application selection has more harmony and artistic look than in my versions. Fantastic work from Tman. Thank you.
I have updated jwm, Icewm themes and also some new backgrounds.
Firefox-5.0 official (update), several new small puppy applications, application updates, bug fixes, Yad added, Umplayer updated and it uses now same Qt libs as VLC and Scribus. So lib cleaning also.
Pidgin and PupShutdown updated.
Smokey01 nice new PH101 Puppy help manual has been included with its own menu entry. Thank you Smokey01 of your hard work.
Otherwise, check Snow Puppy thread about innards.
Gimp, VLC, Umplayer, Pidgin, DeadBeef 0.51, Xorg_High, Firefox-5.0 Official preinstalled.
Filemanagers: Rox, Mc, Thunar, Xfe..so fox libs included.
Iso size 240 Mb, yeah...I know...At least you know who to blame....
And there is now Tmans much smaller version out. Check it.

Hi pemasu,
Frugal installion booted perfectly and everything appears to be working properly except after I installed an Nvidia driver and checked glxgears, I got an error message:
sh-4.1# glxgears
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
The Nvidia Driver appears to be operating properly although for some reason NVIDIA x server settings is not showing up in the menu.

I compiled Thunors updated latest gtkdialog. It adds new functions, so the new gtkdialog apps will work in my Puppies alright in the future.
I will add it to the next Midnight Sun Pup also with those above mentioned updates.

May I ask a noob question.
Is Midnight Sun pup compatible with Lupu525 applications? Pets SFS and so on?
I failed to get FF 5 going too.
Loaded SFS-Exec and used that one to load FF4.0 and that worked well.
Opera 11 worked well as SFS too. but Chromium 12 and Chromium 14 started but failed to load pages.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Great name. With a name like that I had to try it . . .
VLC ran OK, Xchat ran OK
FF did not load, tried from the command line, then decided to download chrome 12 from quickpet
Did not run.
Menubar disappeared and I could not reboot (had to use ctrl + alt + backspace and reboot)
So I returned to Lucid525 which I have been using of late and the two save files got a little confused . . .
(I think this is being sorted for later woof builds)
Without a browser I have only 10% functionality. The cloud has me . . .
Keep up the great work pemasu - and keep up the great names
It did remind me of the Black Sun philosophy
but then 'Spot' (Puppy 5.3) can also mean blemish (that meaning had totally escaped me)
Not always a young dog

About browser problems. I believe that not all Playdayz's compiled browsers works with 220.127.116.11 kernel version. And mine compile was done in PolarPup using best tuning for my intel i5 cpu. So it seem not be compatible with all cpu's.
I will download Firefox official offering and make a pet of it and then upload Midnight Sun Pup 002.
About Lucid Puppy other pets. I believe almost all of them works just fine. Midnight Sun Pup is ubuntu lucid and Playdayz's Lucid Puppies based, using 25.5 woof and quite a lot applications has been updated also.
Graphics driver from Lucid Puppy repos of course does not work because they are compiled for different kernel.
These selfcompiled browsers might cause problems as we have seen.

Looking forward to those
going off topic . . .
Open the directory/folder with your pics
If you can not see your pics right/click/show thumbnails (or for older Puppys go into options)
Click the + sign in the Rox folder to make thumbnails bigger
Drag the required thumbnail over the mtpaint icon and let go
Pic now in Mtpaint
Now you can make the image bigger or smaller with the scroll wheel
OK lets modify
Go to effects/change colours in Mtpaint
Best effects are increase saturation and a bit of gamma (don't go mad)
Too much gamma might need a bit of contrast and try some hue change for otherworldly sunsets
Apply before clicking OK and reset if the effects have gone too far when applied
That should give you pics a little more Puppification
Here is one I did earlier

Midnight Sun Pup is now reuploading. I meant to name it 002 but I forget to change the specs, so Midnight Sun Pup 001 it is...again.
Firefox-5.0 official now. Pidgin updated to 2.9.0, Pupshutdown to 1.7 with several improvements. You can now disable the CD removing question from settings. So it reboots or shutdown without extra questions. See Radky's Pupshutdown thread for more information.
Lakeview pic added to the backgrounds, I liked that one.
Gtkdialog3 is now latest Thunor's source code compile. Gtkdialog is now under heavy development. That is great news to all who develops and uses gtkdialog apps and there are so many included in Puppies.
Now it is time to put nets to the lake and cross fingers. My son has got two pike perches with wobbler so far and several pikes also.
I have nice console utility included. It translates words from english to finnish and vice versa. Might support other languages also..You can try it.
It works in console:
sh-4.1# translate kuha fi en
pike perch
Midnight Sun Pup 001 reupload finished.

August 19, 2002
Lawrence J. Goodrich, Communications Director, (202) 523-3240, ext. 27
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, an independent federal agency advising the Administration and Congress, has written to Deputy Secretary of State Richard L. Armitage requesting that he raise religious freedom concerns during his visit to India, Pakistan, and China later this month. The Commission specifically asked Mr. Armitage to raise the recent sectarian violence in Gujarat, India; attacks on Christians in Pakistan; the need to discuss religious freedom during the upcoming Bush-Jiang talks; and the situation of North Korean refugees in China.
The text of the letter follows:
August 15, 2002
Dear Deputy Secretary Armitage:
Pursuant to its advisory responsibilities under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 (IRFA), the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom respectfully urges you to raise religious freedom concerns with the governments of India, Pakistan, and China during your visit to Asia later this month.
In India, we urge you to express publicly the U.S. government's profound concern about the widespread killing of Muslims in the state of Gujarat earlier this year. Sparked by the killing of 58 Hindus on a train, mobs of Hindus killed at least 1,000 Muslims, many of whom were mutilated and burned alive. There have also been instances of retaliatory violence against Hindus. Although some U.S. administration officials have commented in response to questions by reporters about the "horrible violence in Gujarat" and about their expectation that the Indian government would "do the right thing," as far as we know no senior U.S. administration official has expressed concern over the killings or called for accountability for those responsible. In fact, Secretary Powell said that the violence in Gujarat "did not come up in any of the conversations that I had in both India and in Pakistan" during his recent visit to the region. Although the Indian federal government has taken some positive steps, the situation in Gujarat remains highly volatile and highly visible in the Indian press. India's own National Human Rights Commission has detailed evidence of premeditation by members of Hindu extremist groups, complicity by Gujarat state government officials, and police inaction in the face of orchestrated violence against Muslims. Clearly it is important that the United States speak out publicly against such religion-based extremist violence,all the more so in view of our country's war on terrorism.
In Pakistan, we urge you to similarly speak out publicly against recent attacks on Christian targets, reportedly by Islamic extremists. Pakistan's government should forcefully combat such violence, punish its perpetrators, and work more effectively to foster an atmosphere of tolerance and respect for the rights of everyone, regardless of religion or belief. Unlike in the case of the terrible murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl (who was forced to "confess" his religion before he was killed), the Pakistani government has not demonstrated a similar resolve to find and bring to justice those directly responsible for recent attacks against Christians. We also hope that you will underline the Commission's conclusion that discriminatory religious legislation (notably, the blasphemy and anti-Ahmadi laws) promotes religious intolerance that in turn encourages acts of sectarian and religiously motivated violence in which both Muslims and non-Muslims are victims. Despite the proposed Madrassa reform law, too many of Pakistan's Islamic religious schools continue to provide ideological training and motivation to those who go on to fight in Afghanistan and Kashmir, and who take part in violence targeting religious minorities in Pakistan.
In China, in your meetings with Chinese officials in preparation for President Jiang Zemin's October 2002 visit to the United States, we urge you to ensure that religious freedom is a prominent agenda item for discussion between Presidents Bush and Jiang. Goals and benchmarks should be established prior to President Jiang's visit in order to measure progress in the protection of religious liberty in China, which has been designated by the Secretary of State as a "country of particular concern" under IRFA. Among these benchmarks should be the release of persons confined on account of their religion or belief and an end to the detention, imprisonment, torture, and other forms of ill treatment of Protestant Christians, Roman Catholics, Tibetan Buddhists, Uighur Muslims, and other groups, such as Falun Gong, that the government has labeled "evil cults." Urging the Chinese government to take such steps would demonstrate a determination on the part of the administration to follow up on the recent visit to China of the Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom, from whom we await a report.
In addition, the Commission strongly recommends that you communicate to Chinese officials U.S. concerns about the situation of thousands of North Koreans who have fled to China and urge the Chinese government to abide by its international commitments to refrain from forcibly repatriating North Koreans and to grant refugee status to those who meet international criteria. In particular, there are reports that 12 North Koreans who, led by South Korean Pastor Chun Ki Won, were arrested by Chinese officials in December 2001 while attempting to enter Mongolia are now facing involuntary repatriation - where they will likely face severe penalties, some say including execution, upon their return due to the international publicity surrounding their case.
We understand that there are many interests that the U.S. government must pursue in each of these countries. However, we strongly recommend that religious freedom concerns be prominent in your dialogue with their governments. This is important not least because it is the protection of religious freedom and other human rights that has proven often to be the most effective guarantor that other U.S. interests will be advanced.
Felice Gaer
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom was created by the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 to monitor the status of freedom of thought, conscience, and religion or belief abroad, as defined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and related international instruments, and to give independent policy recommendations to the President, the Secretary of State and the Congress.

Keri Russell: Pregnancy Glow at Sundance
Again, was never a huge fan of Felicity, therefore rather indifferent, but having met her yesterday, I now understand why her supporters are so loyal. Keri is a doll. First the girly details – the big plus is that she doesn't, like so many of her peers, lie about her height. She is listed at 5 ft 4 and she is indeed 5 ft 4. She's also barely, barely, barely showing… if at all. Quite slender but not skinny, in a blue tee and jeans tucked into brown boots and a loose knit hat, amazing skin with virtually no makeup, the greatest smile, sweet to everyone, and an imperceptible little bump, only noticeable because she announced she was pregnant. Seriously, if you didn't already know, you really wouldn't know. Keri's at Sundance for a movie called Waitress co-starring Nathan Fillion, Jeremy Sisto, and Cheryl Hines, generating much positive buzz primarily because it's a good film but also because its writer and director Adrienne Shelley was senselessly murdered just 2 months ago. As you can imagine, the mood was rather sombre, though everyone involved is trying to turn a heartbreaking situation into an uplifting one, and given that Waitress truly delivers on Adrienne's promise as a talented filmmaker, do go see it when it gets released – you will not be disappointed. Back to Keri – as I said before, she really is delightful. Softspoken but not mousy and extremely considerate, makes a point of shaking everyone's hand, engaged in a conversation, looks directly at you, and not surrounded and/or hidden by handlers. As they say – Keri Russell is a good egg. Source

Covertix SmartCipher 3.0
Israeli-based Covertix, which landed on CRN's list of 2012 Emerging Vendors, gets a nod for this year's security Product the Year award for SmartCipher 3.0, its agentless solution that monitors files as they move in and out of an enterprise network and prevents unauthorized access to the data contained within. A major update this year added support for Microsoft SharePoint and smartphones and grants end users the ability to assign security policies from their own desktop. SmartCipher focuses on file contents, working with individual files or groups of documents -- either of which can be selected based on ordinary criteria -- and monitoring movement of files by employees, visitors, contractors or other temporary workers. A browser-based administration console assigns file security levels according to extension, file size or property, location, specific content, people, groups, domain and other attributes, times or conditions. SmartCipher requires Windows Server with Microsoft SQL Server and can run virtually. Price is per user, per month and varies by configuration.

Japan is in the forefront of the news with ridiculous statements such as the sinking yen is a "Byproduct, Not a Focus" of its foreign trade policy. I have a simple question "Even if that statement is believable, what difference does it make?"
The answer is none. Regardless, statements from Japanese politicians are not believable in the first place. That helps explain the following Bloomberg headline G-20 Takes Harder Line on Currencies.
Two days of talks between G-20 finance ministers and central bankers ended in Moscow yesterday with a pledge not to "target our exchange rates for competitive purposes," according to a statement. That's stronger than their position three months ago and leaves Japanese officials under pressure to stop publicly giving guidance on their currency's value.
With the yen near its lowest level against the dollar since 2010, policy makers are attempting to soothe concern that some countries are trying to weaken exchange rates to spur growth through exports. The risk is a 1930s-style spiral of devaluations and protectionism if other countries retaliate to safeguard their own economies.
"Politically-motivated devaluations can't sustainably improve competitiveness; they don't solve structural problems and they set off reactions," Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann said yesterday. "The clear language in the communiqué underlines this unity and will allow the debate in the future to take place with a less excited tone."
Japanese officials in Moscow denied driving down their currency, arguing its fall was a byproduct — not a focus — of their effort to revive the world's third-largest economy.
Japanese officials aren't alone in accepting a cheaper currency as good for growth.
Bank of England policy maker Martin Weale said in a speech yesterday that although U.K. central bankers don't "target the exchange rate," there is reason to tolerate any inflation resulting from the pound's six-year decline.
Not all G-20 policy makers want a weaker currency. Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann said in a Feb. 13 interview that "the exchange rate of the euro is broadly in line with fundamentals" and "you cannot really say that the euro is seriously overvalued."
Mathematically Impossible
As I have commented numerous time recently, global currency wars are heating up as every nation believes it can export its way out of a slump.
In spite of statements by Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann, it's important to note that Weidmann does not set ECB policy. Realistically, Weidmann appears to have as much influence on ECB policy as hawks have on Fed policy (and that is not much).
The ECB wants a cheaper euro, the Fed wants a cheaper dollar, China wants a cheaper yuan, and Japan wants a cheaper yen.
Mathematical reality says that's impossible, yet that is what every country wants to achieve.

It's sadly what we've come to expect: advocates for saving the planet — and present and future lives with it — and those who protest financial crimes and improprieties get arrested, charged, and often serve jail time, but those responsible among the corporate and financial elite go free.
In this case, the headline on mlive.com (as in Michigan) that came to our attention reads, "Four protesters arrested at Enbridge pipeline construction site charged with felony."
Enbridge is a massive intertnational oil and gas pipeline company (based in Canada) that, as noted in a study by the Polaris Institute, fesses up to large scale environmental damage:
Thousands of litres of dangerous fluids are released from the company 's pipelines and holding tanks into the environment each year.
According to Enbridge's own data, between 1999 and 2010 , across all of the company's operations there were 804 spills that released 161,475 barrels of hydrocarbons into the environment.
This amounts to approximately half of the oil that spilled from the oil tanker the Exxon Valdez after it struck a rock in Prince William Sound, Alaska in 1988.
Enbridge's most infamous spill in the US occurred along a pristine stretch of the Kalamazoo River in July of 2020. InsideClimateNews.com won a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the first major tar sands oil spill in America:
It was near Marshall [Michigan] that an aging oil pipeline burst on July 25, 2010 and spilled more than one million gallons of heavy Canadian crude oil into the Kalamazoo River. It was the largest inland oil pipeline spill in U.S. history, and its effects can still be seen today in the river and in the lives of the people who live near it. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates as much as 180,000 gallons of oil still lie on the river bottom and some of it is moving toward a Superfund site….
The Kalamazoo accident was the first major pipeline spill involving diluted bitumen, or dilbit, the same type of oil that will be carried by the Keystone XL pipeline if the Obama administration approves the project.
Bitumen is a tar-like substance that must be diluted with liquid chemicals before it can flow through pipelines. When the Michigan pipeline split open, the chemicals slowly evaporated and the bitumen began sinking to the river bottom.
From accusations of abuse of eminent domain, to toxic leakages, to facilitating excessive carbon production, to even charges of tacit condoning of paramilitary executions of opponents of pipeline work in Colombia, Enbridge is a big target for protestors when looking at corporations that, it appears, triumphantly bulldoze environmental interests and human rights out of their way.
As michlive.com reported about a July 22nd act of civil disobedience:
Four people arrested Monday at the site of a pipeline protest northwest of Stockbridge [Michigan] have been charged with a felony.
Vickie Rose Hamlin, 59, of Michigan City; Lisa Michelle Leggio, 35, of Holland; Barbara Ellen Carter, 22, of Detroit; and William Michael Lawrence, 22, of East Lansing are charged with resisting or obstructing police, a felony, and trespassing, a misdemeanor, according to a statement from the Ingham County Sheriff's Office.
There were 20 to 30 demonstrators gathered early Monday, July 22, at the site of an Enbridge gas pipeline construction project in the area of Grimes Road and Dexter Trail roads, the sheriff's office reported.
The individuals are part of the Michigan Coalition Against Tar Sands and were working to halt the efforts of Enbridge, which is replacing and increasing the capacity of its crude oil and petroleum pipeline through 10 Michigan counties.
"Enbridge itself has consistently demonstrated that their sole priority is their own bottom line, not the health and safety of the people of Michigan, our ecosystem and even their own workers," the group said in a statement.
There's a much larger story here beyond the courage of the advocates to prevent climate change and prevent a global fossil fuel pipeline company from expanding its bitumen (tar sands oil) transport capacity in the US.
What becomes apparent from the nationwide law enforcement suppression of the Occupy Movement to the arrest of protesters against sub-prime home foreclosures to the arrest of anti-Tar Sands pipeline advocates for the earth and our lives…what becomes apparent is that those who resist the rapacious profit-machine of the consumer society and monetization of the value of life are the ones who are shackled as law breakers, threats to the social order, people to be stigmatized as targets of police (and intelligence surveillance) action.
Meanwhile, those who exploit our economy and planet — as if they were driving a speed boat three sheets to the wind through endangered coral reefs, tossing their champagne bottles overboard to become flotsam on a polluted sea — are not, with rare exception, held accountable.

Cortland Acres residents chat with Sen. Manchin online | Elkins Inter Mountain
Stanley "Champ" Sedmock, a 13-year resident of Cortland Acres, may not have to wait long for U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin to take him up on his offer of a cup of coffee.
"Hopefully I can stop by soon and visit with you in person," Manchin said via the online teleconference program Skype. "I'd love to be with you this morning. But since I'm not, this is the best way for me to talk with you about your concerns."
Manchin, who owns a home and loves spending time in Canaan Valley, spoke with more than a dozen Cortland Acres residents via Skype in recognition of National Nursing Home Week.
"It is terrific that we have this opportunity to talk with you, Sen. Manchin, about issues important to our residents," Administrator Don Black said. "We are especially grateful because this month is Cortland Acres 35th Anniversary. It was 35 years ago this month that a group of folks put together a nursing home and Cortland opened its doors."
Manchin has been "Skyping" with high school students throughout West Virginia for the past couple of months. He recently accepted a special invitation, and the only one of its kind, from Cortland Acres. During the 20-minute session, he answered a variety of questions ranging from stem cell and emphysema research to the importance of children and exercise.
But it was the question from resident Francis Bibeau that drew the most attention.
"I want to know if you are going to run for president someday," she asked.
"I don't think so Francis," Manchin replied with a smile. "I enjoy public service so much. I never thought I'd be this old and be this homesick for my state of West Virginia.
"I don't get to come home as much as I want to. I want to serve the people of West Virginia to the best of my ability. You never say never, but that's not on my radar screen right now."
Betty Bonner asked about the different amounts of spending money per month received by Medicaid and Social Security recipients and veterans.
"Nursing home residents on Medicaid receive $50 spending money per month, residents on SSI only receive $30 spending money per month and those who are veterans get $90 per month," she said. "Would it be possible for those getting only $30 a month to be increased to $50 or could everyone get $90?
Manchin said he would look into the different spending levels for each program.
"I will check into the reasons for the differences of $30, $50 and $90," he said. "If there's any adjustment that is recommended or if we can these make adjustments for you, we will. You are asking for a fairness situation."
Next, resident Leona Howell asked about "any research projects regarding breathing problems like emphysema."
Manchin knows emphysema is a major health challenge in West Virginia because of the types of jobs available.
"Emphysema takes a terrible toll on West Virginians," he said, noting that he has family members who suffer from the disease. "I don't know of any or additional research being done or any breakthrough that has happened, but I will find out more information for you. I know we are committed and doing everything humanly possible."
Sedmock, who has multiple sclerosis, asked Manchin about stem cell research.
"Will I see the use of stem cell research on MS in the near future?" he asked. "If not, are there new treatments available for my type of MS, not a cure but a treatment to make life a little more tolerable?"
Manchin said he's proud to support funding for the National Institute of Health, the entity responsible for these types of stem cell research projects.
"I've always said you should set your priorities based on our values as Americans and try to find cures that get people a better quality of life," he said. "The NIH is doing everything humanly possible that I know of for stem cell research. As you know it is a very tedious and long process. We have to continue to be hopeful and not to give up for finding the cure that can improve the quality for people like yourself."
Next Clara Mae Davis posed a question concerning children and the amount of time devoted to recess and exercise.
"Is there any effort to provide more play or exercise time for children in schools today instead of sitting in front of a TV or computer?" she asked.
Manchin said this issue has been a concern of his since he was governor of West Virginia. He said this issue starts at home with parents and the community getting youth involved and creating healthier lifestyles.
"When I went to school everyone had to take recess or phys ed," he said. "My understanding now is it is not even mandatory. So kids go to school and never have a phys ed class."
Beth Clevenger, assistant administrator at Cortland Acres, worked closely with Peggy Hawse, regional coordinator for Manchin, to schedule the special event.

While trying to establish his heating oil business in 1981 New York, Abel Morales (Oscar Isaac) faces a difficult political situation. Being simultaneously investigate by the District Attorney while having his trucks hijacked at gunpoint (something he suspects of his rivals with ties to criminal enterprises) as well as facing threats from the unions if he does not adequately protect his drivers. Added to this is his responsibility to protect his family, with his wife Anna (Jessica Chastain), the daughter of gang leader, vowing to do something if he is unable to. All this comes to a head when Morales must pay for the site of his new plant within the confines of strict negotiations.
The film presents a richly dense plot, with many storylines folding in on each other. They seethe just under the surface, with tension rising, and the interactions between characters marked by an increasing uneasiness. Although resolving who is stealing his trucks and the completion of his payment for his new plant, there are many storylines, like his interactions with the D.A., that are transformed rather than resolved, adding to the richness of the implications of the films narrative.
After the film concludes there is the thought that there was more story to tell. This may sound like a criticism, the film not fulfilling all its narrative ends. On the contrary, it is one of the strongest points, and illustrates the films understated mastery. The wonderfully ambiguous ending (I resist calling it a conclusion) with its palpable tension leaving you wondering if an uneasy resolution has been made, is in keeping with the rest of the films restraint.

Going through the list of twitter tools as recommended by blogs I notice many recommending a lot of tools which for me is not necessary. Some blogs recommends 30 twitter tools for businesses . For me. All you need is a few. If you want to have a successful business using twitter you got to follow the KISS rule. KISS rule means KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID rule.
So what do you need for your business to be successful on twitter? That depends if you're a big company or maybe you're a small business owner. So I'll list out tools for local businesses up to big businesses.
I only recommend using FIVE tools if you really want to have a successful business on twitter. The FIVE tools are:
1. Monitter
Why Use It?
Monnitor has a function that I really like. Which is you get to monitor THREE keywords from your area. You get to select your the location and the tweets within the location. Eg: 3km from Dallas. Why this is good? You get very targeted potential customers from twitter. Maybe they're looking for a place to eat you can tweet them to drop by your restaurant.
2. Tweet Grid
Tweet Grid is like monitter but with monitter you get to view only three keywords but with tweet gird you get to monitor a lot of keywords at the same time.Tweet grid is the more advance version of the monitter. Maybe you want to follow targeted followers or get tweets regarding a tweet for coffee. You can follow coffee, coffee tips, coffee help, I want coffee.. etc.. Or maybe monittor starbucks, coffee bean, gloria jeans. Or perhaps restaurants around your area.
3. Cotweet
Cotweet is currently on beta mode so its still free. I'm not sure how much they will be charging for their service in the future but I'm pretty sure they will charge them. Cotweet tagline: How Business Does Twitter. It helps you to manage few accounts up to setting up scheduling tweets.
Its so good even twitter themselves are using it.
4. Tweetbeep
Tweet beep is the google alerts for twitter. Its simple and efficient.If you don't have time looking at the screen what people are talking about your business or looking for potential customers why not have them sent to your email instead? Tweet beep does it for you.
5. Twitter Search
Last but not least, twitter search engine. My favorite to get a quick search for anything. As a business you can use this tool to search about what people are talking about you. All you need to do is insert your keywords and search. I will take more about using this tool for your business in the future post.
For the mean time you can play around with these five twitter tools.
This is part II of the Twitter For Business Series. If you miss part I 10 Reasons Why Your Business Should Use Twitter. Do read it.

Just last week, the University of Colorado-Boulder proudly announced its fifth Nobel Laureate, and the NSF awarded the university a $1.4 million grant for research in climate change. As a flagship university often at the center of local and national debate, CU is a world-class institution that aims to prepare its students and support its faculty in relevant, cutting-edge research. However, under the strain of exorbitant academic journal subscription costs, our university is at times unable to provide students and faculty with access to the research articles they need. According to acquisitions department in the University Libraries, in 2012 alone, the university spent $7.7 million on journal subscriptions, exhausting nearly 77 percent of the Libraries' total materials budget. How is a state university like CU-Boulder supposed to provide the research resources its students need without breaking the bank?
Open Access (OA) is free, immediate, online access to research articles with full reuse rights and is an alternative to the traditional closed, subscription-access system of scholarly communication. It makes the results of scholarly research available online for free, upon publication, and removes barriers for scholarly and educational use. Setting the example for other institutions, both the United Government of Graduate Students (UGGS) and University of Colorado Student Government (CUSG) are members of Right to Research Coalition, an international coalition representing 7 million students focused on supporting Open Access to research initiatives and issues. In addition, our University Libraries are a member of SPARC, the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, which works to correct imbalances in the scholarly publishing system.
Under the leadership of the Libraries staff, CU is taking on the challenges surrounding access to academic journals, including exploring options of how to support faculty and graduate students who want to publish in open-access journals. Initially, this will be through a limited and self-funded OA publication fund and not from the campus budget to the Libraries. Anecdotal evidence suggests that demand for these funds will be high, and the Libraries are interested in exploring more sustainable means of funding for open access publications if there is broader support for such efforts across campus. The Libraries, in collaboration with a number of other Colorado institutions of higher education, have also launched a repository aimed at providing access to the scholarly output of the respective campuses involved.
Starting Monday, CU's United Government of Graduate Students, in collaboration with the University Libraries, will be hosting CU's first-ever campus events for International Open Access Week. In its sixth year, Open Access Week encourages research and academic communities to learn about Open Access and inspire further participation in OA initiatives. As part of the focus on Open Access education, UGGS will be hosting an Open Access Week kick-off event viewing party on Monday and a panel discussion on Oct. 25, where attendees will get a glimpse of faculty, librarian, and grad student perspectives on OA initiatives on our campus and what Open Access means for our university.

A great skit comedy show that started in 1975 and is on today. It was hilarious up until 2000 or so when the comedy just became dull. Alot of great actors and comedians got famous through SNL; Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, David Spade, Jay Mohr, Billy Murray, Eddie Murphy, Billy Crystal, Tim Meadows, Will Ferrel, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd and more.
Boy I remember the good ole' days staying up to watch SNL, now I can't stand the sight of Jimmy Fallon.

a sketch show that was on the decline until a year or two ago (07 or 08) ago, when they got a very good cast. The reversal was given a huge boost with the very funny political sketches in 2008, especially when Tina Fey came back to make fun of Sarah Palin.

A show that is commonly called "not funny anymore" by people who haven't seen a new episode in six years.
Saturday Night Live is just as funny now as it has ever been, just because you don't recognize the actors doesn't mean its not as good. If you actually WATCHED the new ones you'd know that.
by The Drafted's guitar player August 14, 2005
An awesome show with random hilarious skits. It was fuckin hilarious until the year 2000 rolled around. The writing sucks, and the comedians on the show suck. They seem to be too self-conscious to ac completely crazy and random, and the way they actually deliver the lines sucks too. Many awesome skits on that show have been made into movies, such as Night at the Roxbury,Waynes World, and some others I can't think of right now... Some really awesome comedians and actors have started on that show, such as John Belushi, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Dan Akroyd, Eddie Murphy, Gilda Radner, Phil Hartman, Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, Mike Meyers, Dana Carvey, David Spade, and Conan O'Brien, who was a writer and wasn't actually on the show.
I will never miss SNL, even though now it's extremely disappointing...
by waAGhA! March 16, 2005
A variety show started in 1975 by Lorne Michaels that has featured many different casts and cast members. Saturday Night Live started to career of comedians including Chevy Chase, John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon, and more. Saturday Night Live is often referred to as "declining", generally by people who cannot accept the fact that comedy is changing and progressing, people who desire to remain living in the past of the show. If Saturday Night Live was to stay the same forever, it would lose it's touch and ability to speak with the current audience. Saturday Night Live is ever changing and growing, a fact that some viewers cannot handle or process, leaving them in a state of pointless anger and frustration.
Saturday Night Live is on at 11:30 tonight on NBC.
I can't believe Saturday Night Live has been on for 37 seasons!

Summary: In this guide, you will learn how to lossless combine and join Hard Drive Camera M2TS recordings with no conversion on Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
OK, I have a hard drive camera this year. I'm trying to take multiple files and convert them to one? Here is a sample of the file I attached. I shot this in the hallway but will be filming Basketball games and it's going to have multiple files. Does anyone know of a way to join multiple .M2TS files – without having to re-encode the video? Thanks in advance. Below is a screenshot of my video files.
P.S. The hard drive camera is used for filming basketball games. I am a high school basketball coach. My software that I use needs the game film in DV format. My old camera was a mini DVD camera and it was simple to use that pavtube to convert to DV format. This new hard drive camera is recorded on a sd 64 GB card and is played back on to my hard drive. For some reason everytime you hit start and stop on record it makes that segment into a file. Since games are constantly stop and start I have over 80 clips that need to merge into one file for DV format.
There are some MTS converters that can convert my m2ts media from hard drive camera in mp4 file as I read, but it will definitely lose a lot of details doing it and it usually takes a long time encoding the H.264 contents. Also, it can't join my m2ts files together.
To fast organize and join .MTS/.M2TS files without encoding, the Pavtube Media Magician for Mac is a best choice. Its "Lossless Output" option provides a jointless MTS/M2TS/TOD merging and rewrapping solution. Using the software, you can join m2ts/mts clips into one without encoding. Not only the processing time is greatly shortened, but also you get the original HD quality. I have used Pavtube products for about 6 years now. And I have already purchased this program for a PC and a Mac. I was surprised by its amazing speed and high qualtiy video output. Below is a guide I share for your reference.
Free Download Pavtube Media Magician or Mac (Download a dmg file for Mac OS X 10.5 users)

2. The program is 50% off now at Pavtube office website. And by fanning Pavtube Facebook Page on you can get Pavtube Media Magician and Pavtube Media Magician for free before Nov,11, 2013.
Note: The free trial version of Pavtube Media Magician for Mac has the following limitations:
It will add Pavtube logo watermark in output file(s).
Lossless output has a file size limit of 5 minutes.
To remux camera videos to MKV/M2TS, you need to use "Lossless Output" in Media Magician for Mac. There are some things you need to pay attention to while using "Lossless Output":
1. Currently the "Lossless Output" only handles MTS, M2TS, MOD, and TOD formats, thus you are limited to do the following rewrapping without conversion:
– Remux MTS to MTS
– Remux M2TS to M2TS
– Remux TOD to TOD
– Remux MOD to MOD
– Remux MTS to MKV
– Remux M2TS to MKV
– Remux TOD to MKV
– Remux MOD to MKV
2. The format and codec of video files on timeline should be substantially the same;
3. Any editing effects (such as Effect, Audio, 3D) will be ignored when output.
The steps to merge/join AVCHD MTS/M2TS camera videos on Mac
1. Import source files into Media Magician for Mac
Run Pavtube Media Magician for Mac, load source videos into it. (Learn the details on how to import source videos into Media Magician)
2. Drag and drop hard drive camera m2ts recordings to timeline
